If you're looking for a big screen TV plasma is where it's at. These babies are thin- most less than half a foot and they make that ten year old rear screen projection TV look like 1950's technology. Plasmas have a wider viewing angle than LCDs, so you can see the game when you get up for that snack. They also handle fast motion better, which is important when you really want to see all the details in that prize fight on pay per view.
A plasma pixel is made of a gas converted to its plasma state by an electrical charge. A video signal can cause them to glow any of three colors red, green or blue. Using just those three colors in varying ratios are all that is required for modern color TVs to push those amazing images. If you'd like a detailed explanation on the theory take a look here.
